The Mysterious Messenger by Gilbert Ford


Maria's mother, Madame Destine, is as "psychic" or she pretends to be one to swindle people out of their money or possessions.  That is how they survive.  Mr. Fox, their landlord, is in on it as well.  Maria is "homeschooled", which means she goes to the library and researches people they can scam.  She has a friend, Edward, who is a ghost and he gives her messages.  He tells her about a client her mom has, Mrs Fisher, and that she has a treasure in her house.  As Maria tries to help Mrs. Fisher find her treasure, she keeps it from her mom and she sneaks around with her neighbor.  Lots of secrets come out as she follows the clues.
